In addition, the prolonged interaction interval between antigen and presenting cells also enhances the induced immune response. Recruitment of Immune Cells When injected intramuscularly, the aluminum adjuvant stimulates the body’s innate immunity. The major players in innate immunity include dendritic cells, macrophages, monocytes, ...
This cutting-edge technology holds great potential in treating diseases through targeted drug delivery. CAR-T/CAR-NK Cells Development for Drug Delivery Systems As a groundbreaking advancement in immunotherapy, CAR-T (Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell) and CAR-NK (Chimeric Antigen Receptor Natural Killer) ...
It achieves this by binding to the adenosine A2A receptor (ADORA2A), which is expressed by various immune cells like T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and dendritic cells (DCs). ...
Relationship Between Immunity, Inflammation and Cancer Immunity is an act of self-protection of the body. The immune response is divided into specific and non-specific. The antigen and antibody responses are generally referred to as specific immune responses, which require the participation of B cells and T cells. Other immune cells such as macrophages and NK cells mediate non-specific immune ...
Cytokines, small molecules with potent biological activity, are primarily synthesized by immune and non-immune cells (e.g., vascular endothelial cells, epidermal cells, fibroblasts) in response to stimulation. These signaling molecules form intricate networks that contribute to immune responses, inflammatory reactions, cell proliferation, and growth. Cytokine Dysregulation in Systemic Immune ...
Cytokines represent a class of small protein molecules that exhibit diverse biological activities. These molecules are synthesized and secreted primarily by immune cells (including monocytes, macrophages, T cells, B cells, and NK cells) as well as certain non-immune cells (such as endothelial cells, epidermal cells, and fibroblasts) upon specific stimulation. Cytokines play pivotal roles in ...
They facilitate the recognition and binding of immune cells, such as T cells, B cells, and antigen-presenting cells, during immune responses. ...
Researchers state that enoblituzumab, as a new treatment approach, primarily works by relieving the inhibition of the immune system's recognition and elimination of cancer cells by B7-H3. It triggers the physiological process of antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC), activating cytotoxic immune cells such as macrophages and ...
IL-17D IL-17D is expressed in many cells and organs, but its expression in immune cells such as lymphocytes and monocytes is weak. IL-17D induces endothelial cells to produce IL-6, IL-8, and GM-CSF. It also has an inhibitory effect on hematopoiesis of bone marrow precursor cells. Other studies suggest that IL-17D is associated ...
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a 15kDa secretory protein with a 4-alpha-helical bundle structure. As a T-cell related growth factor, IL-2 can enhance the killing activity of NK cells and promote B cells to produce immunoglobulins. In addition, it aids in the development of regulatory T cells (Tregs), thereby producing peripheral T cell immune tolerance, as well as regulating the proliferation and ...
Below is an overview of the main players in the immune system, showing selected synergies amongst various cell types. As seen in the graph below, some cells play a more central role than others; T helper cells for example are a key link between the cellular adaptive response and the humoral adaptive response (you can find out more about T helper ...
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) usually consist of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) covalently linked to cytotoxic drugs via chemical linkers. With high specific targeting ability and strong killing effect, it has achieved precise and efficient removal of cancer cells, and has become one of the hot spots in the development of anticancer drugs. In 2000, the FDA first approved the ADC drug Mylotarg ...
Structure and function of mesothelin The MSLN gene is located in chromosome 16p13. It contains 17 exons, with a cDNA length of about 2138bp, has a 1884-bp open reading frame, and encodes the precursor protein of 628 amino acids (69 kDa). This precursor protein can be hydrolyzed by furin protease into two parts: mesothelin in the size of 40 kDa fragments and 31 kDa secreted fragments called ...
Abstract Natural killer (NK) cells are emerging as a new tool for cell therapy of cancer. However, some cancer subtypes are relatively resistant to NK cell cytotoxicity. Expression of anti-CD19 chimeric signaling receptors can enhance NK-cell reactivity against CD19+ leukemia and lymphoma ...
Cytokines-mediated signaling is a primary way of immune system communication. The common gamma-chain family of cytokines is a set of six cytokines that signal through the common cytokine γ chain receptor (γc/CD132/IL2RG). These cytokines include IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15, and IL-21. Besides the IL-2RG receptor subunit, the γc family cytokine receptors include IL-2RB ...
In hematological malignancies, complete response rates to CAR-T cells can exceed 80%. These responses are often durable in nature and have attracted considerable excitement and investment in the development of cell therapies for an expanded range of indications, particularly in solid tumors. ...
Cytokines are small soluble proteins that are secreted by immune cells and tissue cells to play a regulatory role between cells, including interferon (IFN), interleukin (IL), chemokines, colony-stimulating factors (CSF), tumor necrosis factors (TNF) and so on. ...
AFM13 is a first-in-class tetravalent, bispecific NK cell engager that binds to CD30 on tumor cells and CD16A on NK cells. By engaging CD16-positive NK cells, AFM13 leads to NK cell-mediated killing of tumor cells.1 Pembrolizumab (Keytruda®) is approved in patients with R/R classical Hodgkin lymphoma as monotherapy. AFM13 showed single agent clinical activity with solid safety profile in a ...
